He has a popular Instagram and vlog and has modeled around the world for the likes of Men\u2019s Health, Gillette and Abercrombie &amp; Fitch. Yet since childhood, he has always felt ugly and second best as an Asian male in America.<\/p>\n<p>THE UGLY MODEL examines the paradox of a handsome male model who feels ashamed, ugly and emasculated because of his Asian ethnicity in America. Why does Kevin still choose to be a male model where validation is based on physical appearance and his ethnicity defines his marketability? Is he a masochist for beating his head against the glass ceiling or is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder?<\/p>\n<p>Director: Doris Yeung<br \/>\nProducer: Bianca Kuijper<br \/>\nCreative Producer: Bing Wang<br \/>\nDirector of Photography, Editor: Martijn Van Veen<br \/>\nAssistant Editor: Yasin Maddamin<\/p>\n<p>Discount code: BLEKxAAIFF42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 26th &#8211; 6.30PM EST Asia Society \u2022 725 Park Ave, New York, NY 10021 Asian American International Film Festival<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74535"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74538,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74535\/revisions\/74538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
